The Hochi Shinbun reports that com- munication has been affected between Kuma moto castle and the Imperial troops in the field. It says that a telegram from Naga- baki announces that at about 2 p.m. on the 8th instant, Lieut-Col. Oku, at the head of one battalion of the Kumamoto garrison, made a determined sortie from that castle and fought his way to the Imperial head- quarters at Uto, through the insurgents. The state of the garrison is now well known. There is no want of provisions. A telegram states that the castle of Yafire, hold by the from Uto, sent at 5.80 p.m., the same day, imperialists, was attacked by superior forces of insurgents. The engagement lasted for about six hours. At length the insurgents were totally routed and driven back in die order as far as Furumoto. The victorious troops in Tajiro were joined by Lieut-Col, Okazawa's division, and the united army advanced in pursuit of the insurgents to Ogawa. Many of the rebels were filled or taken prisoners. A telegram from Kioto says that on the 10th Instant, a battle was fought at Waifu. After a desperate struggle the insurgents broke ground, and the imperialists took entire possession of the town. No battle took place at Uyeki or Kidome on the same day.

JOURNALISM TWENTY CENTURIES

AGO.

(Plotorial World.) The drst Roman journal, published over 2,000 years ago, appeared only once a year. This paper, intended to be read by the public, was known by the title Annales Maximi The editor of this paper was the "Pontifex all the important events of the year. The Maximus," whose duty it was to chronicle news was written on white wooden tablets and attached to the residences of citizens. It must have been a curious sight to see the old Romans crewding around these tablets to get a look at the latest news. But the thirst after knowledge and the curiosity of the people grew rapidly and in such a mea sure that the government, the only issuer of a journal, found itself obliged to issue a daily, It is interesting to know that some of these journals, having reached the age of 2,044 years, are still in existence. The name of the first daily journal was eta Populi Ro- mani Diurni; it appeared daily either as "Album," e, the tablet hung out in public, or the contents were written with red obalk on the walls of the houses. The contents of the journal comprised what would be glasted

The interval, between this and the date of our last printed issue, being but ten doing at this season of the year, leaves us days, coupled with the usual small business with very little matter of interest to report upon.
